FIREWORKS in minecraft
The first thing you need to do to make fireworks in Minecraft is make a FIREWORK STAR. These can be of many different colors and shapes, but all will end up looking like a gray ball (maybe with some colored dots on it).
Once you have a FIREWORK STAR, you can "boost" it by putting it back on the crafting table and adding one element of "dye" -- OR you can immediately combine it with gunpowder and paper to make a FIREWORK ROCKET. When you are making the FIREWORK ROCKET, you can add extra gunpowders (up to 3 total) to make the FIREWORK ROCKET more powerful.
If you do not add any dyes or extra ingredients, here is the simplest Firework Rocket Recipe:
1. Gunpowder + Dye = Firework Star
2. Firework Star + Gunpowder (up to 3 Gunpowders can be used) + Paper = Firework Rocket (the finished product).
If you want to do special colors or shapes, here is the recipe:
1. Gunpowder + Dye + Extra Ingredient* = Firework Star
2. Optional: Firework Star + Dye = Boosted Firework Star
3. Firework Star + Gunpowder + Paper = Firework Rocket.
* Extra Ingredients (for shapes and colors)
Diamond = Trail
Glowstone dust = Twinkle
Fire Charge = Large Ball Shape
Gold nugget = Star-shaped
Feather = Burst
Head = Creeper-shaped
